[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a no kids family wedding coming up.  Sadly, my kids would be really excited to go -- they love weddings.  (They are teen/tween.)  I hate weddings because I think all the lovey-dovey "we're the most special people in the world and we are marrying our soul mates" crap is so laughable.  I've been married way too long.  I mean, I'm happy for them and all, but some decades ago weddings became like these over-the-top celebration of the bride/groom with toast after toast full of platitudes and inside jokes and professions that these two people are the most special people ever to find each other on the face of the earth.  And then half the time you don't even get decent cake because people decided that was too traditional and so they're going to do something "unique" like popsicles or something.  
Don't worry -- DCUM, I'm spewing my cynicism here, so I can be all smiles for the bride and groom, who really are a very sweet couple.  And I'm going to just leave my kids in a hotel room by themselves with the wifi password and hope for the best.[/quote]

You may as well decline. I doubt you'll be able to hide your bitterness and cynicism. I can't imagine attending a wedding and thinking so little of the bride and groom, projecting and finding fault and sneering.

And who cares if your kids would be excited to go? It's not about them. [/quote]

Well said.  Just stay home, OP. People who start wedding drama are the worst. [/quote]
